HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 апр 2019
- Probably one of the most intriguing styles in professional boxing was the Cus D'amato influenced Peekaboo style of Mike Tyson.
Although it worked well for him early in his career, this is a fight style that isn't for every fighter. Let's discuss some of the pros, cons and concerns that accompany this type of set up.

Intelligent experienced trainer with terrific insight and detailed information. I have seen countless people discuss peekaboo that did not have a full grasp and understanding which comes with experience and training in particular styles. great video on peekaboo!
I think that's why he was so terrifying in his prime because it was like trying to hit an agent from the matrix and you keep missing and he keeps coming and then you wake up wondering why that guy's counting to 10
Lmao
Lol!!!!!
😂😂😂👍
At 19 years old......19
Yup, his upper body mobility was really something to see. He would even taunt people with it.
So pretty much short and athletic guys are naturally gifted to this styld
A shorter athletic guy yes. Naturally gifted?....most short athletic guys, and others are not even natural for this style, but it can be better suited for those of the shorter stature. It takes athleticism plus a few other qualities. Thanks!
@@WorldClassBoxingChannel you are absolutely right because I'm short 5-7 stocky build strong as a bull but this style takes a lot of cardio and it's really hard for me to do it. I can hang in there for a few minutes but after that I'm winded!!
@@anthonyminggia1105 tyson was strong as a bull but I've never seen anyone that short as built as Tyson in his prime naturally
@@WorldClassBoxingChannel the only thing I would say is in Tyson's prime he was KOing guys in 1-3 rounds. In great shape yes, but became clear after round 6-7 he just was not the same fighter. I'm thinking this style of defense, high energy, very taxing, will have problems for the long haul of the fight.
Not to say this style is bad, it isn't. It works great for a shorter fighter who is built like Tyson. But perhaps it puts even more pressure on that guy to get in and finish that fight early.
@@WorldClassBoxingChannel So as a 5'6" 65kg guy, I can beat the likes of Lennox Lewis, Anthony Joshua if I master this style?
I think Cus D'amato liked the Peek a boo style coz not only was it effective it also made "exciting to watch" boxers
Check out some Floyd Patterson and Jose Torres videos those are cus D'Amato Fighters usion in peekaboo
That was the exact reason he came up with it
Exactly-- put butts in the seats, aggressive yet elusive style that got you paid as well!😎
Good trainer who realized his pupil was 5 10 in a heavy weight division and gave him the perfect style for him
There will never be another fighter like Iron Mike. Ferocious
Yes fighting is soft compared to tyson
Ian Anthony well Deontay Wilder has his power
and DDD
Daniel dubias
is 21 knocking people out no more then 6 rounds
but i get where you coming FROM
@@juanwine54 Deontay Wilder has a lot of power and he looks more like a basketball player Perfect Sleeper
Deontay is good..but he has never faught a very technical boxer..with great footwork/head movement....etc....
Ferosthousth
1:00 GODDAMN LOOK HOW FAST HIS HOOK IS
Doesn't matter how fast you do it just generate as much strength as you can to knock them out cold
@@demetriuscollins4183 But speed generates power so it does matter....Mike was very fast for a heavyweight and was one of his best attributes, how do you think he was able to be so elusive?? Head movement and footwork helped but his explosiveness made him damn near untouchable at the time.
Even played at .5x speed it's fast
@@demetriuscollins4183 you dont generate strength, you generate speed
I always loved the Peekaboo style of fighting. As a guy who's 6' and fought heavyweight I utilized it when I was younger as, like you said, it allowed me to cut distance easier on taller fighters and it took away from their height and arm length advantage. I was able to get inside of them and hit them with shots to the head and body from angles they weren't expecting by constantly changing levels. I think when utilized correctly and by someone like Tyson it is the hardest style to fight against. It is also the least sustainable because like you said you have to be in terrific shape to utilize it correctly and most fighters can't sustain that level of cardio, especially heavyweights, as they get older. Thanks for the great breakdown of the style.
Frazier's style was also exeptionally hard to fight against. He was luring everybody with his rythm like ilusionist and then changed thempo of his whole body movements (head movement, arm motion and bob&weave) He was able to break his own rythm or change it many times during single round. That was HORRIBLY disturbing and uncomfortable for his opponents. Add his masterful defending skills, parrying, obviously head movement and deflecting power of incomig punches in many different ways, insane stamina and you truly had to fight against a deceptive as hell beast in the ring. Many people think that he was just a brawler with great chin and punch and no special technique but that's not true at all, because his style was highly considered, highly technical, sophisticated and hard to pull off.
I’m 5’8” and fight guys way taller than me and peek a boo makes me actually to prefer fight bigger people then if someone’s my height I’ll use philly shell and some ali footwork
Beantowner I’m same as ur tall and I’m 16 I’m in light weight you think it’s effective
@@michadebicki6534 Tyson & Frazier my 2 favorite fighters specifically for what you said.
@@chrispycream7748 yeah same but when I fight guys my height I still fight extremely aggressive peak a boo style
Wind shield wiper movement...........I like it, that's a good description.
IRON MIKE TYSON........the man that sparked my interest in boxing.
Mine too!
Mike once said in an interview his boxing style was a young mans style- this video explains exactly why- great stuff👍🏼🥊
But with great condition can u use it in 40s
really? that is so true because you need lots of energy, once that energy is gone you cant keep it up
I’m a short guy who has been in a lot of hockey and rugby fights.. nearly always wound up fighting guys much taller than myself and have experienced the lack of ability to get inside past a bigger guys reach. The peekaboo style has given me the confidence to know that quick lateral movement will get your opponent reaching for a forward moving target, enabling me to cut inside and feed the body with some shots.
Understanding the side movements followed by the foot pivot to a changed really was a eureka moment for myself. Thank you for taking the time to teach these techniques
Could listen to you all day. Excellent content.
Glad you like and Thank you!
@@WorldClassBoxingChannel same here.Love the channel
@@averagejoe1045 Love having you here!
I Just descover him and he share knowledge with us, big surprise for me, I love Peekaboo style and legendary trainer genious Cus D'Amato 🥊
Indeed, Iron Mike peek-a-boo requires to be a perfect athlet.
Mighty legs and hips, rock solid abs, bull like neck and shoulders...
And powerful heart ans chest to fuel that all
Lower back strength, mobility, and flexibility of a gymnast.
Tyson was in tremendous shape but hardly had ringtime to show it.
Yep. His style demanded that type of conditioning for sure!
He went against several people past 6 rounds abd still displayed a lot of damage
The sweet science of boxing. Back in the day there was nothing more beautiful than watching a Tyson fight. Sugar Ray Leonard another beautiful fighter. I miss pure boxing I love this MMA just doesn't do it for me. Yeah there are some really good athletes in MMA I give him that. And nothing's better than pure boxing
Love pure boxing! But respect those MMA guys!
I always loved to watch James Toney fight.
I've never liked watching boxing but I love doing it, but my passion is mma the grappling adds a whole new element and a whole new threat it takes years of mastery and it really is a beautiful game once you get good at it still adore boxing as a sport however
One thing that made Tyson so dangerous was he was comfortable switching stances while bouncing and shuffling. He could come at you southpaw or orthodox with equal KO power. He looked like he was throwing wild punches, when in reality he was calculating and looking for the open shot.
Even though in 6'2 I still train peekaboo lol. It's what feels the most comfortable for me.
Thats okay, i just wouldnt suggest using it if you ever compete and go against someone more then 2~ inches shorter than you
@@Suspectedly yeah I have no plans to compete lol. I'm 37, I love the cardio part of boxing and the atmosphere of the gym. I do some light sparring every now and then but I don't need my bell rung 😂.
Sion Pyrs how can I adjust it ?
I like it because it transitions well to grappling your squared up against the opponent and close the distance very fast and aggressively
@@vindicatedafi That's true. During sparring I love to use the head movement and close range combos to achieve the clinch.
You have a great channel man. Have been binge watching your videos for a while and I've learned more than months of private lessons. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Coach, as you’ve stressed, the peek-a-boo style may not be suited for all boxers. It’s a better fit for shorter, more aggressive fighters. If I recall correctly, Cus D’Amato developed this style for Floyd Patterson. It’s interesting to note that of all the D’Amato champions that used this stance, ( Patterson, Jose Torres, Tyson ), only Tyson utilized the shifts you’ve shown to cut angles. Techniques are always evolving. Thanks for a very interesting analysis. Very informative.
This 3 have the same style gonna watch fights
Thats because Cus didnt teach his fighters that walking shift to Torres nor Patterson it wasnt intill the 70s that he started teaching that footwork to his fighters. In Steve Lotts interview he explains that.
Dan - Thanks for the explanation!
@@williamdavis7629 anytime man been studying his system myslef.
@@Luisml8 wrong they didnt have the same exact
This style is even better for a street fighter/boxer. Especially short stocky guys. There are no rounds and fights end in a few seconds so being young or in excellent boxing shape aren't a factor.
But staying low can open you up to kicks and knees
@@lukaavbreht1161 True, it has to be modified. It is a great bridge between striking and grappling though.
@@lukaavbreht1161 I struggle with knees as well, the important part is to jab or faint before going low, which has to be done QUICK. Then, I think, it should even work against more experienced fighters in street fighting even tho it's not easy to do
Great for short wrestlers like myself to combine the two
isn't Ali shuffle + canelo head movement more attractive to look at than peekaboo ?
I find Pacquiao more skillful than tyson .. his movement is 🔥
Excellent tips coach. Very helpful
Excellent breakdown. Thanks!
Very good explanation and insight
Thank u for posting ✊
Excellent video. Great breakdown.
Thank you so much for the knowledge sir. Awesome video!!
Thank you for another great video.
Beautifully explained coach
I just seen a video with a 2019 Mike Tyson showing a dude how he did this same technique...after watching that video I can say with 100% certainty that Mike Tyson at age 53 can still fuck someone up if they dared to even mess with him..I was impressed how quick he still is
. Cus would be proud of the man he is today and how Mike Tyson eventual figured out how turn off the beast within him.
Thanks so much this helped me learn so much more about peekaboo 🙏🏿🤝🏿
Thank you coach! I love your videos!
Great job explaining coach! God bless.
Perfect explanation ...great tutorial.Subbed!
Great breakdown coach 💯 💯
Yes high energy but also brilliant strategy, because Tyson would make them miss, thus they would quickly lose heart and he would shift into positions where he could hit and not be hit, which makes a fighter less tentative on exploding their power shots.
Cus knew fighters that fought the ‘traditional’ way were always apprehensive about throwing their power shot for fear of being countered. The evasiveness and shifting allowed his fighters to punch powerfully with impunity from an angle that was completely safe. He knew that you don’t necessarily have to fight like this all night (Tyson proved this with 20 knockouts in 2 rounds or less). Once a fighter has missed too many times, been hit with tremendous power from a position in which he couldn’t counter, his confidence plummets catastrophically and he looks for a convenient place to lay down on the canvas...
So yes, it expends energy but it turns the fight into a sprint instead of a marathon. Tyson only went the distance a handful of times but he was so well conditioned he could do that in his prime, but most of the time he didn’t need to anyway because the tactics and strategy of Cus were so clever that he could easily dispose of opponents rapidly.
Great content 👍
Great channel, thanks sir.
you have so much knowledge sir and its so great of you that you are sharing everything for free. thanks for helping me with my training and with the content as i too am trying to build a channel.
Please support by sharing the video. Thanks!
Been waiting for this!
And you got it buddy! Thank you!
@@WorldClassBoxingChannel Thank you so much!
very informative! Thank you for this
I notice that Mayweather uses shoulder to block punches. Mike Tyson sets up great angles well he could hit you with left or the right hand.
the guard that Mayweather uses is called the philly shell
Great video!
Thanks for this!
Thank you coach - love this.
Brilliant analysis
Great video great explanation
Great video sir!!!tremendous shape!!!! That’s the key of all combat sports and martial arts. Thank you.
Yes sir!
Thank you Sir.
Youre the best, coacher!
Love this channel
Can't agree more, Coach!
Great explanation coach 👊🏼
I’ll learn more about the art of boxing in your one uploading then my 44 years prior. Good execution to man on the demonstrations.. Impressed
!00% someone finally called it for what it really its. Love the pick a boo stile. Why not be the fitter fight anyway. I tell peopel a fair bit, if you want learn self defense get super fit and do reflex work. if they cant hit you they cant hurt you, simple.
Excellent technique Bro, it’s like watching Tyson 👊
This is the video u told me about in the other post. Thank u so much coach. And yes this style really eats up a lot from the gas tank. Got to be smart when to throttle, unless doing 12 rounds of continuous squats is not an issue
Good stuff. I am curious about how boxers time their breathing?
I've been training peekaboo for a few years and it has greatly improved my defense as well as offense.
Another great video yet again! Will you be able to make a video on “the active guard” (lead hand control and feints to set up your punches)?
Can you please send this request to: theworldclassboxingchannel@gmail.com
World Class Boxing Channel I have just send the suggestion, thank you
Perfect explanation of this style....you would make a great trainer of a future world champ
You are one of few people that actually understand peekaboo boxing.. Very good video
I uploaded some peekaboo defence training if someone is interested take a look
Very nice video
You got some good movement there, showing the different styles. You look very eclectic.
Plzzz keep making more videos on Tyson style
More coming!
The Sweet science of it all my brother while u keep us intrigued let's keep our heart with our father with many prayers ☝🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💖☝🏾
I have Tyson movment impress in my mynd, and your movment are exactly as him, fluid, short, compact.
I have a question if you can answer me, time ago I read dangerous about Peekaboo style spinal movment, it' s really a dangerous style for spinal damage? Thanks m8 and congratulation for your channel, pure boxing devulgation, really nice :)
Great breakdown. I've always leaned more towards this style since I'm 6'0 and have the same frame as Tyson. Also have a football background where I'm usually in a squared stance
I always find the pee-ka-boo style wind shield side to side slipping to be faster and more efficient than the traditional slipping technique.
Being 5'11 myself , I love this style. All the shuffling and shifting , I do that alot to create new angles and pressure my opponents. I kept hitting top and and bottom , body shots proceeded by headshots , and back to the body, constantly moving up and down and shifting angles , making it hard to guess where my head is gonna be next.
The key is constant movement.
But the strength is also its weakness, because you need really good conditioning to use this style.
THANK YOU!
can you make video about Tommy Morrison style? It was a little bit peakaboo and bending at wait plus defending with hands - very interesting
finally found someone who explained the peek a boo stance correctly.....
when watched the peek a boo stance video from expertboxing youtube channel....i was like ..wtf he was embarassing tysons stance...he was mixing tysons and ali style of footwork😂.....but even though ...i use this style and i have created many combos......it is very effective style.....
i appreciate ur work sir...awesome video👍👊
This is an excellent video. A very intelligent trainer here.
THANK YOU SIR !
YOU ARE GREAT FRIEND YOU KNOW A LOT
0:40 farzir style : bend waist bobbing /bowing /make guy punch down at him
0:55 mike more straight up /in squad position
(move hands to make him hit me )
Hands uo / Hands come down into rip cage /geneate more power and speed
1:15 mike slip and weave
1:20 frazir bob(in straight line I think /just going down /straight down or lft or right ) (make me punch down ) counter with lft hook /
bob and roll
1:40 he was down lower /bend his back and waist more
1:45 mike : more infront of u /squad /move his head (windshield wiper /u letter )
1:53 It was effective becz was very deceptive movement
Becz when dip : fake body shot /go to head
2:20 take his head across line of attack
2:33differnt jabs:
2:55 effective style :cutting if ring /cut distance
Use feet as well

He get u towards corners/ropes
3:25 Then he will switch/shift
3:35 pivots
3:43 shift to left (stay ortho I think !!)
3:50 frazir :didnnot use feet and shifts as much
He woul bob weave more
4:05 cons of this style : have be in
constant motions/with head and feet and in great shape
(hands or feet have to be moving )
Becz Iam more squard off
(Or hands down /faster head movement jiri ..)
5:20 other styles like philly Iam already half target
Not as much head movement
5:50 mike style headmovement is defense
6:10 If hands up is my defense then Iam punching bag
This is why called sweet science

You need more views !
The 36 who disliked
Were the ones who were koed by iron mike
Also the peek-a-boo style looks cool...very good video, perhaps you can invite great boxers like Mike Tyson and James Toney to show their styles
Wow u explain the pee ka boo very well sir. Thank you for the knowledge.
and Thank you! I am glad you are enjoying the videos and hope that you subscribe to our channel! Much appreciated.
Makes sense
I liked the video, but I would Hazzard a guess that the reason the other stuff is more represented is more come than the fact that it is all great technique. It's just also what's more universally taught, and for good reason. Cus putting up three world champions with peekaboo is definitely food for thought though.
Your right. It's a high energy style that not everyone can utilize. Not every stature is suited for it as well. A select few use it and for good reason. Thanks Scott!
I'm trying to apply this to my MMA especially to get inside to get the clinch it's been working good so far the straight up posture is good to stops me from bending and getting knee'd in the face and keeps good posture when I shoot takedowns
Ok. I live across the river from Catskill and my trainer teaches the DaMatto style. Peekaboo. Great video. Demonstrates the context of tactics and the peekaboo style ignores the advantage of a longer reach. A situation that I do not enjoy. Since I am in great shape, at least after starting boxing class, the DaMatto style fits for me
Thanks for all the support! 👊🏼 I appreciate it! Please consider sharing the videos. Also for other tips follow me on Instagram @tomyankelloboxing
Yes mate I’ve got bits and pieces out thebphollybshell from you bits of canelo now o think I’ve got the one with bits of canelo similar stocky build I’m 58now I feel better with my ribbs covers and I’m stocky so this suits me fantastic movement by the way sir really learn so much from you I’m so grateful bless you your the governor trainer brillant really studied well 🥊❤️
Who wins in their prime Tyson Vs. Tua?
Tyson, not sure anyone beats a motivated Tyson in his prime. If you could take 10 of the best heavyweights ever and have each one of them list the others in order who they wanted to fight first I guarantee Tyson would be at the bottom of each list.
#1 style we use at Cus D'amatos gym In the Catskills.....the conditioning you need to have for this is crazy.....haha...
Great video Tommy. Looked like you were getting a decent workout! Lol.
Can you dedicate a playlist on defense, the various defense methods. Safety safety
Coach has Roy watching this video on repeat.
2-3 head movements after every combo, gets tiring real quick!
I'm a 6,2 fighter with long arms and I'm ambidextrous too I use the philly shell stance for both stances but I wanna utilize the peekaboo style for close range and people who head hunt and fighting taller fighters I have fast hands and I love footwork what can I do?
Cool gym man...
Very good explanation..thank you.
By the way you sound n even look like kevin costner.
Are you related to him?
Cus made that style up...legendary cus.
Yes sir!
Jack dempsey used that style
@@guest0046 how did Jack use it? Cus made it up..Jack had no head movement at all...Jack was a brawler with alot of heart
Can you do a video on how to shift your feet like Tyson step by step?
Make him miss make him pay,Tyson was a magnificent counter puncher with his evasive head movement .💪💪💪💪
Mike Tyson had/have insane elastic spine, core. Those angles, man, he could side bend so deep.
Can you apply the peekaboo style to MMA or Muay Thai/kickboxing?
Very interesting breakdown. Peekaboo duck. I was always familiar with the stand up walk down peekaboo. I will definitely incorporate it in my creative boxing style, Thanks ! #newsub
i reaaallyy want to fight like this, everytime i’ve gotten into a fight i’ve done something sort of like this (get around them, power punches, and dodge everything) but ik like super tall :/
Takes a lot of practice. Keep with it!
watch that clip of tyson at 3:25 and then watch mike tyson knockout buster mathis jr you’ll be amazed
It's interesting, because in boxing you can only be hotness above the belt. In must Thai they can go below. So being square you are a bigger target in your bott half too. So you would have to adjust for must Thai. Either it wouldn't be applicable, or you would constantly have to be dancing, you couldn't be at one place more than a second, otherwise, even with headmocemnt, your base is still stable enough to attack. So you would need to be a cardio beast. It would almost be like, combining the light feet of Ali's style with the head movement and squared stance of Tyson. Constant footwork. You wouldn't have to be technical, at least in your footwork. Suddenly I see the value in footwork. With footwork, you aren't even able to be hit. They say "dance" around your target. I'd take it a step further, and literally dance, take up all styles of dance. Because it's ALL Footwork! And it's with a partner. I think of this often but I never here it spoken about. I wonder if any boxers made dance a serious part of their routine. Ironically enough, Lomencenko took a couple of years off boxing to Persue his mandatory Ukrainian dance... he Is arguably the best in boxing period right now... well there's a clue if there ever was one. I think Duran used a lot of salsa music in his training. I love seeing the similarities in different arts and sports.
